Question

What type of climate do you consider the IDEAL climate for comfortable living for you?

Answer 1

MODERATE! (which is exactly what it's like where I now live--the Pacific Northwest). Summer temperatures in the '70s and '80s, winter temperatures in the 40s. Definitely most comfortable of anywhere in the US.

Answer 2

The climate on the San Francisco peninsula.

The warmest it gets on the peninsula itself is about 85 degrees, and that's quite warm for them. In the winter, it sometimes gets to 40 at night, but it comes back up during the day. That place averages between 65 and 75 degrees year round. And I happen to be someone who loves the fog, and would be happy to have it 365 days a year (you get it quite often there in the mornings, but it often burns off before you get done with your morning shower).

Where I live now, we typically have a string of 100+ days during the summer--last year our string was really long. And it gets down below freezing, and sometimes into the single digits in January and February. We definitely do have the "four seasons" thing going on. If someone drops six or seven million dollars in my lap, I will buy a place in San Francisco proper. Until then, I will stay put.

Answer 3

The Mediterranean climate, with summers not too hot and mild winters would be ideal -- if I could afford it.

Answer 4

I like the HOT weather where the average temperature is in the hi 80’s , unfortunately I live in New England. The last two months have been dismal with record lows average temps for April and May.

I wait all winter long for this global warming thing to kick in and all we get is clouds, and low temperatures. So being the person I am I looked up global warming and found that’s its just a con, a hoax, a movement led by the BIG CHEESE, who looks like he could lose a few pounds.

Answer 5

the climate i would like is one where the summers are warm and pleasant so that the Air conditioners don't need to be turned on.

also there should be year round sun so that i can put a solar cell above my house and satisfy my power needs.

winters should be pleasant and not too cold so that I don't need to invest in heating facilities. In other words a warm climate year round is perfect. Something like in a costal area of south india.

Answer 6

The wet and rainy Pacific Northwest of Washington state.  Plant zone 8.  The pastures are already more than waste high on me.  

It may rain a lot, but it grows a LOT of fodder for the livestock.  Since we own a permaculture farm, the climate, weather, plant zone is of extreme importance to us.

By the way, there's not such thing as bad weather....only improper clothing.
